Trigger: Flat or curved shoe?

[snapper1]

Hi all
I intend on replacing a factory REM 700 trigger with a Triggertech Special single stage trigger.

Flat or curved ?

Just a matter of comfort ?
If I have smaller hands, should I opt for a curved shoe ?

Thank you for your input.

Cheers

I prefer the flat shoe but all my bolt guns are in chassis with a more vertical grip. Typically a flat shoe is preferred with a more vertical grip whereas a curved shoe is preferable with a more traditional, swept grip. There's also an element of personal preference.

I prefer flat or just slightly curved triggers. Not small hands but quadriplegic hands. Not sure if that’s why but I find it’s more consistent the flatter it is

I prefer flat because:
- I can place my finger at the bottom of the shoe, which minimizes trigger pull weight force on my finger. In other words, this placement effectively makes the trigger lighter.
- I can index on the knub at the bottom of the shoe, which provides excellent consistency and feel of the shoe contact and placement.

Flat trigger is the way. A lot more comfortable and I find it more consistent for trigger pull.

Right now my REM 700 sits in a Magpul Hunter chassis, which has a semi vertical grip....I'm kind of leaning toward a flat trigger, although the Special Triggertech doesn't have an adjustable knob.

Just ''pulled the trigger'' on a flat one.

Thank you all.

Have owned both...don't mind either. Having the option to choose on a particular trigger, if both were available would be a coin toss...
